An output of lspci will show something similar to the +following:: + + 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2418 (rev 01) + 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2410 (rev 01) + 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2411 (rev 01) + 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2412 (rev 01) + 00:1f.3 Unknown class [0c05]: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2413 (rev 01) + +The SMBus controller is function 3 in device 1f. Class 0c05 is SMBus Serial +Controller. + +The ICH chips are quite similar to Intel's PIIX4 chip, at least in the +SMBus controller. + + +Process Call Support +-------------------- + +Block process call is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips. + + +I2C Block Read Support +---------------------- + +I2C block read is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips. + + +SMBus 2.0 Support +----------------- + +The 82801DB (ICH4) and later chips support several SMBus 2.0 features. + + +Interrupt Support +----------------- + +PCI interrupt support is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips. + + +Hidden ICH SMBus +---------------- + +If your system has an Intel ICH south bridge, but you do NOT see the +SMBus device at 00:1f.3 in lspci, and you can't figure out any way in the +BIOS to enable it, it means it has been hidden by the BIOS code. Asus is +well known for first doing this on their P4B motherboard, and many other +boards after that. Some vendor machines are affected as well. + +The first thing to try is the "i2c-scmi" ACPI driver. It could be that the +SMBus was hidden on purpose because it'll be driven by ACPI. If the +i2c-scmi driver works for you, just forget about the i2c-i801 driver and +don't try to unhide the ICH SMBus. Even if i2c-scmi doesn't work, you +better make sure that the SMBus isn't used by the ACPI code. Try loading +the "fan" and "thermal" drivers, and check in /sys/class/thermal. If you +find a thermal zone with type "acpitz", it's likely that the ACPI is +accessing the SMBus and it's safer not to unhide it. Only once you are +certain that ACPI isn't using the SMBus, you can attempt to unhide it. + +In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI +register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in +drivers/pci/quirks.c, where all affected boards must be listed (see +function asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge.) If the SMBus device is missing, +and you think there's something interesting on the SMBus (e.g. a +hardware monitoring chip), you need to add your board to the list. + +The motherboard is identified using the subvendor and subdevice IDs of the +host bridge PCI device.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! + + +Description +----------- + +The PIIX4 (properly known as the 82371AB) is an Intel chip with a lot of +functionality. Among other things, it implements the PCI bus. One of its +minor functions is implementing a System Management Bus. This is a true +SMBus - you can not access it on I2C levels. The good news is that it +natively understands SMBus commands and you do not have to worry about +timing problems. The bad news is that non-SMBus devices connected to it can +confuse it mightily. Yes, this is known to happen... + +Do ``lspci -v`` and see whether it contains an entry like this:: + + 0000:00:02.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) + Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9 + +Bus and device numbers may differ, but the function number must be +identical (like many PCI devices, the PIIX4 incorporates a number of +different 'functions', which can be considered as separate devices). If you +find such an entry, you have a PIIX4 SMBus controller. + +On some computers (most notably, some Dells), the SMBus is disabled by +default. If you use the insmod parameter 'force=1', the kernel module will +try to enable it. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! If the BIOS did not set up a +correct address for this module, you could get in big trouble (read: +crashes, data corruption, etc.). Try this only as a last resort (try BIOS +updates first, for example), and backup first! An even more dangerous +option is 'force_addr='. This will not only enable the PIIX4 like +'force' does, but it will also set a new base I/O port address. The SMBus +parts of the PIIX4 needs a range of 8 of these addresses to function +correctly. If these addresses are already reserved by some other device, +you will get into big trouble! DON'T USE THIS IF YOU ARE NOT VERY SURE +ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING! + +The PIIX4E is just an new version of the PIIX4; it is supported as well. +The PIIX/PIIX3 does not implement an SMBus or I2C bus, so you can't use +this driver on those mainboards. + +The ServerWorks Southbridges, the Intel 440MX, and the Victory66 are +identical to the PIIX4 in I2C/SMBus support. + +The AMD SB700, SB800, SP5100 and Hudson-2 chipsets implement two +PIIX4-compatible SMBus controllers. If your BIOS initializes the +secondary controller, it will be detected by this driver as +an "Auxiliary SMBus Host Controller". + +If you own Force CPCI735 motherboard or other OSB4 based systems you may need +to change the SMBus Interrupt Select register so the SMBus controller uses +the SMI mode. + +1) Use ``lspci`` command and locate the PCI device with the SMBus controller: + 00:0f.0 ISA bridge: ServerWorks OSB4 South Bridge (rev 4f) + The line may vary for different chipsets. Please consult the driver source + for all possible PCI ids (and ``lspci -n`` to match them).

You can think of i2c-dev as a generic I2C chip driver + that can be programmed from user-space. + +3) Some ioctl() calls are for administrative tasks and are handled by + i2c-dev directly. Examples include I2C_SLAVE (set the address of the + device you want to access) and I2C_PEC (enable or disable SMBus error + checking on future transactions.) + +4) Other ioctl() calls are converted to in-kernel function calls by + i2c-dev. Examples include I2C_FUNCS, which queries the I2C adapter + functionality using i2c.h:i2c_get_functionality(), and I2C_SMBUS, which + performs an SMBus transaction using i2c-core-smbus.c:i2c_smbus_xfer(). + + The i2c-dev driver is responsible for checking all the parameters that + come from user-space for validity. After this point, there is no + difference between these calls that came from user-space through i2c-dev + and calls that would have been performed by kernel I2C chip drivers + directly. This means that I2C bus drivers don't need to implement + anything special to support access from user-space. + +5) These i2c.h functions are wrappers to the actual implementation of + your I2C bus driver. Each adapter must declare callback functions + implementing these standard calls. i2c.h:i2c_get_functionality() calls + i2c_adapter.algo->functionality(), while + i2c-core-smbus.c:i2c_smbus_xfer() calls either + adapter.algo->smbus_xfer() if it is implemented, or if not, + i2c-core-smbus.c:i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() which in turn calls + i2c_adapter.algo->master_xfer(). + +After your I2C bus driver has processed these requests, execution runs +up the call chain, with almost no processing done, except by i2c-dev to +package the returned data, if any, in suitable format for the ioctl. diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/dma-considerations.rst b/Documentation/i2c/dma-considerations.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..142d52ce9 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/i2c/dma-considerations.rst @@ -0,0 +1,71 @@ +================= +Linux I2C and DMA +================= + +Given that I2C is a low-speed bus, over which the majority of messages +transferred are small, it is not considered a prime user of DMA access. At this +time of writing, only 10% of I2C bus master drivers have DMA support +implemented. And the vast majority of transactions are so small that setting up +DMA for it will likely add more overhead than a plain PIO transfer. + +Therefore, it is *not* mandatory that the buffer of an I2C message is DMA safe. +It does not seem reasonable to apply additional burdens when the feature is so +rarely used. However, it is recommended to use a DMA-safe buffer if your +message size is likely applicable for DMA. Most drivers have this threshold +around 8 bytes (as of today, this is mostly an educated guess, however). For +any message of 16 byte or larger, it is probably a really good idea. Please +note that other subsystems you use might add requirements. E.g., if your +I2C bus master driver is using USB as a bridge, then you need to have DMA +safe buffers always, because USB requires it. + +Clients +------- + +For clients, if you use a DMA safe buffer in i2c_msg, set the I2C_M_DMA_SAFE +flag with it. Then, the I2C core and drivers know they can safely operate DMA +on it. Note that using this flag is optional. I2C host drivers which are not +updated to use this flag will work like before. And like before, they risk +using an unsafe DMA buffer. To improve this situation, using I2C_M_DMA_SAFE in +more and more clients and host drivers is the planned way forward. Note also +that setting this flag makes only sense in kernel space. User space data is +copied into kernel space anyhow. The I2C core makes sure the destination +buffers in kernel space are always DMA capable. Also, when the core emulates +SMBus transactions via I2C, the buffers for block transfers are DMA safe. Users +of i2c_master_send() and i2c_master_recv() functions can now use DMA safe +variants (i2c_master_send_dmasafe() and i2c_master_recv_dmasafe()) once they +know their buffers are DMA safe. Users of i2c_transfer() must set the +I2C_M_DMA_SAFE flag manually. + +Masters +------- + +Bus master drivers wishing to implement safe DMA can use helper functions from +the I2C core. One gives you a DMA-safe buffer for a given i2c_msg as long as a +certain threshold is met:: + + dma_buf = i2c_get_dma_safe_msg_buf(msg, threshold_in_byte); + +If a buffer is returned, it is either msg->buf for the I2C_M_DMA_SAFE case or a +bounce buffer. But you don't need to care about that detail, just use the +returned buffer. If NULL is returned, the threshold was not met or a bounce +buffer could not be allocated. Fall back to PIO in that case. + +In any case, a buffer obtained from above needs to be released. Another helper +function ensures a potentially used bounce buffer is freed:: + + i2c_put_dma_safe_msg_buf(dma_buf, msg, xferred); + +The last argument 'xferred' controls if the buffer is synced back to the +message or not. No syncing is needed in cases setting up DMA had an error and +there was no data transferred. + +The bounce buffer handling from the core is generic and simple. It will always +allocate a new bounce buffer. If you want a more sophisticated handling (e.g. +reusing pre-allocated buffers), you are free to implement your own. + +Please also check the in-kernel documentation for details. The i2c-sh_mobile +driver can be used as a reference example how to use the above helpers. + +Final note: If you plan to use DMA with I2C (or with anything else, actually) +make sure you have CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled during development.

However, drivers should not return other codes for these +cases (unless the hardware doesn't provide unique fault reports). + +Also, codes returned by adapter probe methods follow rules which are +specific to their host bus (such as PCI, or the platform bus). + + +EAGAIN + Returned by I2C adapters when they lose arbitration in master + transmit mode: some other master was transmitting different + data at the same time. + + Also returned when trying to invoke an I2C operation in an + atomic context, when some task is already using that I2C bus + to execute some other operation. + +EBADMSG + Returned by SMBus logic when an invalid Packet Error Code byte + is received. This code is a CRC covering all bytes in the + transaction, and is sent before the terminating STOP. This + fault is only reported on read transactions; the SMBus slave + may have a way to report PEC mismatches on writes from the + host. Note that even if PECs are in use, you should not rely + on these as the only way to detect incorrect data transfers. + +EBUSY + Returned by SMBus adapters when the bus was busy for longer + than allowed. This usually indicates some device (maybe the + SMBus adapter) needs some fault recovery (such as resetting), + or that the reset was attempted but failed. + +EINVAL + This rather vague error means an invalid parameter has been + detected before any I/O operation was started. Use a more + specific fault code when you can. + +EIO + This rather vague error means something went wrong when + performing an I/O operation. Use a more specific fault + code when you can. + +ENODEV + Returned by driver probe() methods. This is a bit more + specific than ENXIO, implying the problem isn't with the + address, but with the device found there. Driver probes + may verify the device returns *correct* responses, and + return this as appropriate. (The driver core will warn + about probe faults other than ENXIO and ENODEV.) + +ENOMEM + Returned by any component that can't allocate memory when + it needs to do so. + +ENXIO + Returned by I2C adapters to indicate that the address phase + of a transfer didn't get an ACK. While it might just mean + an I2C device was temporarily not responding, usually it + means there's nothing listening at that address. + + Returned by driver probe() methods to indicate that they + found no device to bind to. (ENODEV may also be used.) + +EOPNOTSUPP + Returned by an adapter when asked to perform an operation + that it doesn't, or can't, support. + + For example, this would be returned when an adapter that + doesn't support SMBus block transfers is asked to execute + one. In that case, the driver making that request should + have verified that functionality was supported before it + made that block transfer request. + + Similarly, if an I2C adapter can't execute all legal I2C + messages, it should return this when asked to perform a + transaction it can't. (These limitations can't be seen in + the adapter's functionality mask, since the assumption is + that if an adapter supports I2C it supports all of I2C.) + +EPROTO + Returned when slave does not conform to the relevant I2C + or SMBus (or chip-specific) protocol specifications. One + case is when the length of an SMBus block data response + (from the SMBus slave) is outside the range 1-32 bytes. + +ESHUTDOWN + Returned when a transfer was requested using an adapter + which is already suspended. + +ETIMEDOUT + This is returned by drivers when an operation took too much + time, and was aborted before it completed. + + SMBus adapters may return it when an operation took more + time than allowed by the SMBus specification; for example, + when a slave stretches clocks too far. I2C has no such + timeouts, but it's normal for I2C adapters to impose some + arbitrary limits (much longer than SMBus!) too. diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/functionality.rst b/Documentation/i2c/functionality.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..377507c56 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/i2c/functionality.rst @@ -0,0 +1,156 @@ +======================= +I2C/SMBus Functionality +======================= + +INTRODUCTION +------------ + +Because not every I2C or SMBus adapter implements everything in the +I2C specifications, a client can not trust that everything it needs +is implemented when it is given the option to attach to an adapter: +the client needs some way to check whether an adapter has the needed +functionality. + + +FUNCTIONALITY CONSTANTS +----------------------- + +For the most up-to-date list of functionality constants, please check +! + + =============================== ============================================== + I2C_FUNC_I2C Plain i2c-level commands (Pure SMBus + adapters typically can not do these) + I2C_FUNC_10BIT_ADDR Handles the 10-bit address extensions + I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING Knows about the I2C_M_IGNORE_NAK, + I2C_M_REV_DIR_ADDR and I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK + flags (which modify the I2C protocol!) + I2C_FUNC_NOSTART Can skip repeated start sequence + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK Handles the SMBus write_quick command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE Handles the SMBus read_byte command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BYTE Handles the SMBus write_byte command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BYTE_DATA Handles the SMBus read_byte_data command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BYTE_DATA Handles the SMBus write_byte_data command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_WORD_DATA Handles the SMBus read_word_data command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_WORD_DATA Handles the SMBus write_byte_data command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_PROC_CALL Handles the SMBus process_call command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_BLOCK_DATA Handles the SMBus read_block_data command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_BLOCK_DATA Handles the SMBus write_block_data command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_READ_I2C_BLOCK Handles the SMBus read_i2c_block_data command + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WRITE_I2C_BLOCK Handles the SMBus write_i2c_block_data command + =============================== ============================================== + +A few combinations of the above flags are also defined for your convenience: + + ========================= ====================================== + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE Handles the SMBus read_byte + and write_byte commands + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA Handles the SMBus read_byte_data + and write_byte_data commands + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WORD_DATA Handles the SMBus read_word_data + and write_word_data commands + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA Handles the SMBus read_block_data + and write_block_data commands + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK Handles the SMBus read_i2c_block_data + and write_i2c_block_data commands + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL Handles all SMBus commands that can be + emulated by a real I2C adapter (using + the transparent emulation layer) + ========================= ====================================== + +In kernel versions prior to 3.5 I2C_FUNC_NOSTART was implemented as +part of I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING. + + +ADAPTER IMPLEMENTATION +---------------------- + +When you write a new adapter driver, you will have to implement a +function callback ``functionality``. Typical implementations are given +below. + +A typical SMBus-only adapter would list all the SMBus transactions it +supports. This example comes from the i2c-piix4 driver:: + + static u32 piix4_func(struct i2c_adapter *adapter) + { + return I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK | I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE | + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA | I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WORD_DATA | + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA; + } + +A typical full-I2C adapter would use the following (from the i2c-pxa +driver):: + + static u32 i2c_pxa_functionality(struct i2c_adapter *adap) + { + return I2C_FUNC_I2C | I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL; + } + +I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_EMUL includes all the SMBus transactions (with the +addition of I2C block transactions) which i2c-core can emulate using +I2C_FUNC_I2C without any help from the adapter driver. The idea is +to let the client drivers check for the support of SMBus functions +without having to care whether the said functions are implemented in +hardware by the adapter, or emulated in software by i2c-core on top +of an I2C adapter. + + +CLIENT CHECKING +--------------- + +Before a client tries to attach to an adapter, or even do tests to check +whether one of the devices it supports is present on an adapter, it should +check whether the needed functionality is present. The typical way to do +this is (from the lm75 driver):: + + static int lm75_detect(...) + { + (...) + if (!i2c_check_functionality(adapter, I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA | + I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_WORD_DATA)) + goto exit; + (...) + } + +Here, the lm75 driver checks if the adapter can do both SMBus byte data +and SMBus word data transactions. If not, then the driver won't work on +this adapter and there's no point in going on. If the check above is +successful, then the driver knows that it can call the following +functions: i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(), i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(), +i2c_smbus_read_word_data() and i2c_smbus_write_word_data(). As a rule of +thumb, the functionality constants you test for with +i2c_check_functionality() should match exactly the i2c_smbus_* functions +which you driver is calling. + +Note that the check above doesn't tell whether the functionalities are +implemented in hardware by the underlying adapter or emulated in +software by i2c-core. Client drivers don't have to care about this, as +i2c-core will transparently implement SMBus transactions on top of I2C +adapters. + + +CHECKING THROUGH /DEV +--------------------- + +If you try to access an adapter from a userspace program, you will have +to use the /dev interface. You will still have to check whether the +functionality you need is supported, of course. This is done using +the I2C_FUNCS ioctl. An example, adapted from the i2cdetect program, is +below:: + + int file; + if (file = open("/dev/i2c-0", O_RDWR) < 0) { + /* Some kind of error handling */ + exit(1); + } + if (ioctl(file, I2C_FUNCS, &funcs) < 0) { + /* Some kind of error handling */ + exit(1); + } + if (!(funcs & I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK)) { + /* Oops, the needed functionality (SMBus write_quick function) is + not available! */ + exit(1); + } + /* Now it is safe to use the SMBus write_quick command */ diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/gpio-fault-injection.rst b/Documentation/i2c/gpio-fault-injection.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..9dca6ec7d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/i2c/gpio-fault-injection.rst @@ -0,0 +1,136 @@ +========================= +Linux I2C fault injection +========================= + +The GPIO based I2C bus master driver can be configured to provide fault +injection capabilities. It is then meant to be connected to another I2C bus +which is driven by the I2C bus master driver under test. The GPIO fault +injection driver can create special states on the bus which the other I2C bus +master driver should handle gracefully. + +Once the Kconfig option I2C_GPIO_FAULT_INJECTOR is enabled, there will be an +'i2c-fault-injector' subdirectory in the Kernel debugfs filesystem, usually +mounted at /sys/kernel/debug. There will be a separate subdirectory per GPIO +driven I2C bus. Each subdirectory will contain files to trigger the fault +injection. They will be described now along with their intended use-cases. + +Wire states +=========== + +"scl" +----- + +By reading this file, you get the current state of SCL. By writing, you can +change its state to either force it low or to release it again. So, by using +"echo 0 > scl" you force SCL low and thus, no communication will be possible +because the bus master under test will not be able to clock. It should detect +the condition of SCL being unresponsive and report an error to the upper +layers. + +"sda" +----- + +By reading this file, you get the current state of SDA. By writing, you can +change its state to either force it low or to release it again. So, by using +"echo 0 > sda" you force SDA low and thus, data cannot be transmitted. The bus +master under test should detect this condition and trigger a bus recovery (see +I2C specification version 4, section 3.1.16) using the helpers of the Linux I2C +core (see 'struct bus_recovery_info'). However, the bus recovery will not +succeed because SDA is still pinned low until you manually release it again +with "echo 1 > sda". A test with an automatic release can be done with the +"incomplete transfers" class of fault injectors. + +Incomplete transfers +==================== + +The following fault injectors create situations where SDA will be held low by a +device. Bus recovery should be able to fix these situations. But please note: +there are I2C client devices which detect a stuck SDA on their side and release +it on their own after a few milliseconds. Also, there might be an external +device deglitching and monitoring the I2C bus. It could also detect a stuck SDA +and will init a bus recovery on its own. If you want to implement bus recovery +in a bus master driver, make sure you checked your hardware setup for such +devices before. And always verify with a scope or logic analyzer! + +"incomplete_address_phase" +-------------------------- + +This file is write only and you need to write the address of an existing I2C +client device to it. Then, a read transfer to this device will be started, but +it will stop at the ACK phase after the address of the client has been +transmitted. Because the device will ACK its presence, this results in SDA +being pulled low by the device while SCL is high. So, similar to the "sda" file +above, the bus master under test should detect this condition and try a bus +recovery. This time, however, it should succeed and the device should release +SDA after toggling SCL. + +"incomplete_write_byte" +----------------------- + +Similar to above, this file is write only and you need to write the address of +an existing I2C client device to it. + +The injector will again stop at one ACK phase, so the device will keep SDA low +because it acknowledges data. However, there are two differences compared to +'incomplete_address_phase': + +a) the message sent out will be a write message +b) after the address byte, a 0x00 byte will be transferred. Then, stop at ACK. + +This is a highly delicate state, the device is set up to write any data to +register 0x00 (if it has registers) when further clock pulses happen on SCL. +This is why bus recovery (up to 9 clock pulses) must either check SDA or send +additional STOP conditions to ensure the bus has been released. Otherwise +random data will be written to a device! + +Lost arbitration +================ + +Here, we want to simulate the condition where the master under test loses the +bus arbitration against another master in a multi-master setup. + +"lose_arbitration" +------------------ + +This file is write only and you need to write the duration of the arbitration +intereference (in µs, maximum is 100ms). The calling process will then sleep +and wait for the next bus clock. The process is interruptible, though. + +Arbitration lost is achieved by waiting for SCL going down by the master under +test and then pulling SDA low for some time. So, the I2C address sent out +should be corrupted and that should be detected properly. That means that the +address sent out should have a lot of '1' bits to be able to detect corruption. +There doesn't need to be a device at this address because arbitration lost +should be detected beforehand. Also note, that SCL going down is monitored +using interrupts, so the interrupt latency might cause the first bits to be not +corrupted. A good starting point for using this fault injector on an otherwise +idle bus is:: + + # echo 200 > lose_arbitration & + # i2cget -y 0x3f + +Panic during transfer +===================== + +This fault injector will create a Kernel panic once the master under test +started a transfer. This usually means that the state machine of the bus master +driver will be ungracefully interrupted and the bus may end up in an unusual +state. Use this to check if your shutdown/reboot/boot code can handle this +scenario. + +"inject_panic" +-------------- + +This file is write only and you need to write the delay between the detected +start of a transmission and the induced Kernel panic (in µs, maximum is 100ms). +The calling process will then sleep and wait for the next bus clock. The +process is interruptible, though. + +Start of a transfer is detected by waiting for SCL going down by the master +under test. A good starting point for using this fault injector is:: + + # echo 0 > inject_panic & + # i2cget -y + +Note that there doesn't need to be a device listening to the address you are +using. Results may vary depending on that, though. diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/i2c-protocol.rst b/Documentation/i2c/i2c-protocol.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..df0febfe6 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/i2c/i2c-protocol.rst @@ -0,0 +1,96 @@ +================ +The I2C Protocol +================ + +This document is an overview of the basic I2C transactions and the kernel +APIs to perform them. + +Key to symbols +============== + +=============== ============================================================= +S Start condition +P Stop condition +Rd/Wr (1 bit) Read/Write bit.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============== +Linux I2C Sysfs +=============== + +Overview +======== + +I2C topology can be complex because of the existence of I2C MUX +(I2C Multiplexer). The Linux +kernel abstracts the MUX channels into logical I2C bus numbers. However, there +is a gap of knowledge to map from the I2C bus physical number and MUX topology +to logical I2C bus number. This doc is aimed to fill in this gap, so the +audience (hardware engineers and new software developers for example) can learn +the concept of logical I2C buses in the kernel, by knowing the physical I2C +topology and navigating through the I2C sysfs in Linux shell. This knowledge is +useful and essential to use ``i2c-tools`` for the purpose of development and +debugging. + +Target audience +--------------- + +People who need to use Linux shell to interact with I2C subsystem on a system +which the Linux is running on. + +Prerequisites +------------- + +1. Knowledge of general Linux shell file system commands and operations. + +2. General knowledge of I2C, I2C MUX and I2C topology. + +Location of I2C Sysfs +===================== + +Typically, the Linux Sysfs filesystem is mounted at the ``/sys`` directory, +so you can find the I2C Sysfs under ``/sys/bus/i2c/devices`` +where you can directly ``cd`` to it. +There is a list of symbolic links under that directory. The links that +start with ``i2c-`` are I2C buses, which may be either physical or logical. The +other links that begin with numbers and end with numbers are I2C devices, where +the first number is I2C bus number, and the second number is I2C address. + +Google Pixel 3 phone for example:: + + blueline:/sys/bus/i2c/devices $ ls + 0-0008 0-0061 1-0028 3-0043 4-0036 4-0041 i2c-1 i2c-3 + 0-000c 0-0066 2-0049 4-000b 4-0040 i2c-0 i2c-2 i2c-4 + +``i2c-2`` is an I2C bus whose number is 2, and ``2-0049`` is an I2C device +on bus 2 address 0x49 bound with a kernel driver. + +Terminology +=========== + +First, let us define some terms to avoid confusion in later sections. + +(Physical) I2C Bus Controller +----------------------------- + +The hardware system that the Linux kernel is running on may have multiple +physical I2C bus controllers. The controllers are hardware and physical, and the +system may define multiple registers in the memory space to manipulate the +controllers. Linux kernel has I2C bus drivers under source directory +``drivers/i2c/busses`` to translate kernel I2C API into register +operations for different systems. This terminology is not limited to Linux +kernel only. + +I2C Bus Physical Number +----------------------- + +For each physical I2C bus controller, the system vendor may assign a physical +number to each controller. For example, the first I2C bus controller which has +the lowest register addresses may be called ``I2C-0``. + +Logical I2C Bus +--------------- + +Every I2C bus number you see in Linux I2C Sysfs is a logical I2C bus with a +number assigned. This is similar to the fact that software code is usually +written upon virtual memory space, instead of physical memory space. + +Each logical I2C bus may be an abstraction of a physical I2C bus controller, or +an abstraction of a channel behind an I2C MUX. In case it is an abstraction of a +MUX channel, whenever we access an I2C device via a such logical bus, the kernel +will switch the I2C MUX for you to the proper channel as part of the +abstraction. + +Physical I2C Bus +---------------- + +If the logical I2C bus is a direct abstraction of a physical I2C bus controller, +let us call it a physical I2C bus. + +Caveat +------ + +This may be a confusing part for people who only know about the physical I2C +design of a board. It is actually possible to rename the I2C bus physical number +to a different number in logical I2C bus level in Device Tree Source (DTS) under +section ``aliases``. See ``arch/arm/boot/dts/nuvoton-npcm730-gsj.dts`` +for an example of DTS file. + +Best Practice: **(To kernel software developers)** It is better to keep the I2C +bus physical number the same as their corresponding logical I2C bus number, +instead of renaming or mapping them, so that it may be less confusing to other +users. These physical I2C buses can be served as good starting points for I2C +MUX fanouts. For the following examples, we will assume that the physical I2C +bus has a number same as their I2C bus physical number. + +Walk through Logical I2C Bus +============================ + +For the following content, we will use a more complex I2C topology as an +example. Here is a brief graph for the I2C topology. If you do not understand +this graph at first glance, do not be afraid to continue reading this doc +and review it when you finish reading. + +:: + + i2c-7 (physical I2C bus controller 7) + `-- 7-0071 (4-channel I2C MUX at 0x71) + |-- i2c-60 (channel-0) + |-- i2c-73 (channel-1) + | |-- 73-0040 (I2C sensor device with hwmon directory) + | |-- 73-0070 (I2C MUX at 0x70, exists in DTS, but failed to probe) + | `-- 73-0072 (8-channel I2C MUX at 0x72) + | |-- i2c-78 (channel-0) + | |-- ...

This link only exists +in logical I2C bus directory which is fanned out from another I2C bus. +Reading this link will also tell you which I2C MUX device created +this logical I2C bus. + +If the symbolic link points to a directory ending with ``.i2c``, it should be a +physical I2C bus, directly abstracting a physical I2C bus controller. For +example:: + + $ readlink /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/device + ../../f0087000.i2c + $ ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/mux_device + ls: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/mux_device: No such file or directory + +In this case, ``i2c-7`` is a physical I2C bus, so it does not have the symbolic +link ``mux_device`` under its directory. And if the kernel software developer +follows the common practice by not renaming physical I2C buses, this should also +mean the physical I2C bus controller 7 of the system. + +On the other hand, if the symbolic link points to another I2C bus, the I2C bus +presented by the current directory has to be a logical bus. The I2C bus pointed +by the link is the parent bus which may be either a physical I2C bus or a +logical one. In this case, the I2C bus presented by the current directory +abstracts an I2C MUX channel under the parent bus. + +For example:: + + $ readlink /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73/device + ../../i2c-7 + $ readlink /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73/mux_device + ../7-0071 + +``i2c-73`` is a logical bus fanout by an I2C MUX under ``i2c-7`` +whose I2C address is 0x71. +Whenever we access an I2C device with bus 73, the kernel will always +switch the I2C MUX addressed 0x71 to the proper channel for you as part of the +abstraction. + +Finding out Logical I2C Bus Number +---------------------------------- + +In this section, we will describe how to find out the logical I2C bus number +representing certain I2C MUX channels based on the knowledge of physical +hardware I2C topology. + +In this example, we have a system which has a physical I2C bus 7 and not renamed +in DTS. There is a 4-channel MUX at address 0x71 on that bus. There is another +8-channel MUX at address 0x72 behind the channel 1 of the 0x71 MUX. Let us +navigate through Sysfs and find out the logical I2C bus number of the channel 3 +of the 0x72 MUX. + +First of all, let us go to the directory of ``i2c-7``:: + + ~$ cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7 + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7$ ls + 7-0071 i2c-60 name subsystem + delete_device i2c-73 new_device uevent + device i2c-86 of_node + i2c-203 i2c-dev power + +There, we see the 0x71 MUX as ``7-0071``. Go inside it:: + + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7$ cd 7-0071/ + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/7-0071$ ls -l + channel-0 channel-3 modalias power + channel-1 driver name subsystem + channel-2 idle_state of_node uevent + +Read the link ``channel-1`` using ``readlink`` or ``ls -l``:: + + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/7-0071$ readlink channel-1 + ../i2c-73 + +We find out that the channel 1 of 0x71 MUX on ``i2c-7`` is assigned +with a logical I2C bus number of 73. +Let us continue the journey to directory ``i2c-73`` in either ways:: + + # cd to i2c-73 under I2C Sysfs root + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/7-0071$ cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73 + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ + + # cd the channel symbolic link + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/7-0071$ cd channel-1 + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/7-0071/channel-1$ + + # cd the link content + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/7-0071$ cd ../i2c-73 + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-7/i2c-73$ + +Either ways, you will end up in the directory of ``i2c-73``. Similar to above, +we can now find the 0x72 MUX and what logical I2C bus numbers +that its channels are assigned:: + + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ ls + 73-0040 device i2c-83 new_device + 73-004e i2c-78 i2c-84 of_node + 73-0050 i2c-79 i2c-85 power + 73-0070 i2c-80 i2c-dev subsystem + 73-0072 i2c-81 mux_device uevent + delete_device i2c-82 name + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ cd 73-0072 + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73/73-0072$ ls + channel-0 channel-4 driver of_node + channel-1 channel-5 idle_state power + channel-2 channel-6 modalias subsystem + channel-3 channel-7 name uevent + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73/73-0072$ readlink channel-3 + ../i2c-81 + +There, we find out the logical I2C bus number of the channel 3 of the 0x72 MUX +is 81. We can later use this number to switch to its own I2C Sysfs directory or +issue ``i2c-tools`` commands. + +Tip: Once you understand the I2C topology with MUX, command +`i2cdetect -l +`_ +in +`I2C Tools +`_ +can give you +an overview of the I2C topology easily, if it is available on your system. For +example:: + + $ i2cdetect -l | grep -e '\-73' -e _7 | sort -V + i2c-7 i2c npcm_i2c_7 I2C adapter + i2c-73 i2c i2c-7-mux (chan_id 1) I2C adapter + i2c-78 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 0) I2C adapter + i2c-79 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 1) I2C adapter + i2c-80 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 2) I2C adapter + i2c-81 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 3) I2C adapter + i2c-82 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 4) I2C adapter + i2c-83 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 5) I2C adapter + i2c-84 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 6) I2C adapter + i2c-85 i2c i2c-73-mux (chan_id 7) I2C adapter + +Pinned Logical I2C Bus Number +----------------------------- + +If not specified in DTS, when an I2C MUX driver is applied and the MUX device is +successfully probed, the kernel will assign the MUX channels with a logical bus +number based on the current biggest logical bus number incrementally. For +example, if the system has ``i2c-15`` as the highest logical bus number, and a +4-channel MUX is applied successfully, we will have ``i2c-16`` for the +MUX channel 0, and all the way to ``i2c-19`` for the MUX channel 3. + +The kernel software developer is able to pin the fanout MUX channels to a static +logical I2C bus number in the DTS. This doc will not go through the details on +how to implement this in DTS, but we can see an example in: +``arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-facebook-wedge400.dts`` + +In the above example, there is an 8-channel I2C MUX at address 0x70 on physical +I2C bus 2. The channel 2 of the MUX is defined as ``imux18`` in DTS, +and pinned to logical I2C bus number 18 with the line of ``i2c18 = &imux18;`` +in section ``aliases``. + +Take it further, it is possible to design a logical I2C bus number schema that +can be easily remembered by humans or calculated arithmetically. For example, we +can pin the fanout channels of a MUX on bus 3 to start at 30. So 30 will be the +logical bus number of the channel 0 of the MUX on bus 3, and 37 will be the +logical bus number of the channel 7 of the MUX on bus 3. + +I2C Devices +=========== + +In previous sections, we mostly covered the I2C bus. In this section, let us see +what we can learn from the I2C device directory whose link name is in the format +of ``${bus}-${addr}``. The ``${bus}`` part in the name is a logical I2C bus +decimal number, while the ``${addr}`` part is a hex number of the I2C address +of each device. + +I2C Device Directory Content +---------------------------- + +Inside each I2C device directory, there is a file named ``name``. +This file tells what device name it was used for the kernel driver to +probe this device. Use command ``cat`` to read its content. For example:: + + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ cat 73-0040/name + ina230 + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ cat 73-0070/name + pca9546 + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ cat 73-0072/name + pca9547 + +There is a symbolic link named ``driver`` to tell what Linux kernel driver was +used to probe this device:: + + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ readlink -f 73-0040/driver + /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/ina2xx + /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-73$ readlink -f 73-0072/driver + /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/pca954x + +But if the link ``driver`` does not exist at the first place, +it may mean that the kernel driver failed to probe this device due to +some errors.

A mux may be needed on the bus to prevent address collisions. + +2. The bus may be accessible from some external bus master, and arbitration + may be needed to determine if it is ok to access the bus. + +3. A device (particularly RF tuners) may want to avoid the digital noise + from the I2C bus, at least most of the time, and sits behind a gate + that has to be operated before the device can be accessed. + +Several types of hardware components such as I2C muxes, I2C gates and I2C +arbitrators allow to handle such needs. + +These components are represented as I2C adapter trees by Linux, where +each adapter has a parent adapter (except the root adapter) and zero or +more child adapters. The root adapter is the actual adapter that issues +I2C transfers, and all adapters with a parent are part of an "i2c-mux" +object (quoted, since it can also be an arbitrator or a gate). + +Depending of the particular mux driver, something happens when there is +an I2C transfer on one of its child adapters. The mux driver can +obviously operate a mux, but it can also do arbitration with an external +bus master or open a gate. The mux driver has two operations for this, +select and deselect. select is called before the transfer and (the +optional) deselect is called after the transfer. + + +Locking +======= + +There are two variants of locking available to I2C muxes, they can be +mux-locked or parent-locked muxes. + + +Mux-locked muxes +---------------- + +Mux-locked muxes does not lock the entire parent adapter during the +full select-transfer-deselect transaction, only the muxes on the parent +adapter are locked. Mux-locked muxes are mostly interesting if the +select and/or deselect operations must use I2C transfers to complete +their tasks. Since the parent adapter is not fully locked during the +full transaction, unrelated I2C transfers may interleave the different +stages of the transaction. This has the benefit that the mux driver +may be easier and cleaner to implement, but it has some caveats. + +Mux-locked Example +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + .----------. .--------. + .--------. | mux- |-----| dev D1 | + | root |--+--| locked | '--------' + '--------' | | mux M1 |--. .--------. + | '----------' '--| dev D2 | + | .--------. '--------' + '--| dev D3 | + '--------' + +When there is an access to D1, this happens: + + 1. Someone issues an I2C transfer to D1. + 2. M1 locks muxes on its parent (the root adapter in this case). + 3. M1 calls ->select to ready the mux. + 4. M1 (presumably) does some I2C transfers as part of its select. + These transfers are normal I2C transfers that locks the parent + adapter. + 5. M1 feeds the I2C transfer from step 1 to its parent adapter as a + normal I2C transfer that locks the parent adapter. + 6. M1 calls ->deselect, if it has one. + 7. Same rules as in step 4, but for ->deselect. + 8. M1 unlocks muxes on its parent. + +This means that accesses to D2 are lockout out for the full duration +of the entire operation. But accesses to D3 are possibly interleaved +at any point. + +Mux-locked caveats +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When using a mux-locked mux, be aware of the following restrictions: + +[ML1] + If you build a topology with a mux-locked mux being the parent + of a parent-locked mux, this might break the expectation from the + parent-locked mux that the root adapter is locked during the + transaction. + +[ML2] + It is not safe to build arbitrary topologies with two (or more) + mux-locked muxes that are not siblings, when there are address + collisions between the devices on the child adapters of these + non-sibling muxes. + + I.e. the select-transfer-deselect transaction targeting e.g. device + address 0x42 behind mux-one may be interleaved with a similar + operation targeting device address 0x42 behind mux-two. The + intent with such a topology would in this hypothetical example + be that mux-one and mux-two should not be selected simultaneously, + but mux-locked muxes do not guarantee that in all topologies. + +[ML3] + A mux-locked mux cannot be used by a driver for auto-closing + gates/muxes, i.e. something that closes automatically after a given + number (one, in most cases) of I2C transfers. Unrelated I2C transfers + may creep in and close prematurely. + +[ML4] + If any non-I2C operation in the mux driver changes the I2C mux state, + the driver has to lock the root adapter during that operation. + Otherwise garbage may appear on the bus as seen from devices + behind the mux, when an unrelated I2C transfer is in flight during + the non-I2C mux-changing operation. + + +Parent-locked muxes +------------------- + +Parent-locked muxes lock the parent adapter during the full select- +transfer-deselect transaction. The implication is that the mux driver +has to ensure that any and all I2C transfers through that parent +adapter during the transaction are unlocked I2C transfers (using e.g. +__i2c_transfer), or a deadlock will follow. + +Parent-locked Example +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + .----------. .--------. + .--------. | parent- |-----| dev D1 | + | root |--+--| locked | '--------' + '--------' | | mux M1 |--. .--------. + | '----------' '--| dev D2 | + | .--------.

M1 locks muxes on its parent (the root adapter in this case). + 3. M1 locks its parent adapter. + 4. M1 calls ->select to ready the mux. + 5. If M1 does any I2C transfers (on this root adapter) as part of + its select, those transfers must be unlocked I2C transfers so + that they do not deadlock the root adapter. + 6. M1 feeds the I2C transfer from step 1 to the root adapter as an + unlocked I2C transfer, so that it does not deadlock the parent + adapter. + 7. M1 calls ->deselect, if it has one. + 8. Same rules as in step 5, but for ->deselect. + 9. M1 unlocks its parent adapter. + 10. M1 unlocks muxes on its parent. + +This means that accesses to both D2 and D3 are locked out for the full +duration of the entire operation. + +Parent-locked Caveats +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When using a parent-locked mux, be aware of the following restrictions: + +[PL1] + If you build a topology with a parent-locked mux being the child + of another mux, this might break a possible assumption from the + child mux that the root adapter is unused between its select op + and the actual transfer (e.g. if the child mux is auto-closing + and the parent mux issues I2C transfers as part of its select). + This is especially the case if the parent mux is mux-locked, but + it may also happen if the parent mux is parent-locked. + +[PL2] + If select/deselect calls out to other subsystems such as gpio, + pinctrl, regmap or iio, it is essential that any I2C transfers + caused by these subsystems are unlocked. This can be convoluted to + accomplish, maybe even impossible if an acceptably clean solution + is sought. + + +Complex Examples +================ + +Parent-locked mux as parent of parent-locked mux +------------------------------------------------ + +This is a useful topology, but it can be bad:: + + .----------. .----------. .--------. + .--------. | parent- |-----| parent- |-----| dev D1 | + | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------' + '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------. + | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 | + | .--------. | .--------. '--------' + '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 | + '--------' '--------' + +When any device is accessed, all other devices are locked out for +the full duration of the operation (both muxes lock their parent, +and specifically when M2 requests its parent to lock, M1 passes +the buck to the root adapter). + +This topology is bad if M2 is an auto-closing mux and M1->select +issues any unlocked I2C transfers on the root adapter that may leak +through and be seen by the M2 adapter, thus closing M2 prematurely. + + +Mux-locked mux as parent of mux-locked mux +------------------------------------------ + +This is a good topology:: + + .----------. .----------. .--------. + .--------. | mux- |-----| mux- |-----| dev D1 | + | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------' + '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------. + | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 | + | .--------. | .--------.

But accesses to D4 are possibly interleaved at any +point. + +This kind of topology is generally not suitable and should probably +be avoided. The reason is that M2 probably assumes that there will +be no I2C transfers during its calls to ->select and ->deselect, and +if there are, any such transfers might appear on the slave side of M2 +as partial I2C transfers, i.e. garbage or worse. This might cause +device lockups and/or other problems. + +The topology is especially troublesome if M2 is an auto-closing +mux. In that case, any interleaved accesses to D4 might close M2 +prematurely, as might any I2C transfers part of M1->select. + +But if M2 is not making the above stated assumption, and if M2 is not +auto-closing, the topology is fine. + + +Parent-locked mux as parent of mux-locked mux +--------------------------------------------- + +This is a good topology:: + + .----------. .----------. .--------. + .--------. | parent- |-----| mux- |-----| dev D1 | + | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------' + '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------. + | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 | + | .--------. | .--------.

Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each +I2C bus segment, and what address these devices are using. For this +reason, the kernel code must instantiate I2C devices explicitly. There are +several ways to achieve this, depending on the context and requirements. + + +Method 1: Declare the I2C devices statically +-------------------------------------------- + +This method is appropriate when the I2C bus is a system bus as is the case +for many embedded systems. On such systems, each I2C bus has a number which +is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the I2C devices +which live on this bus. + +This information is provided to the kernel in a different way on different +architectures: device tree, ACPI or board files. + +When the I2C bus in question is registered, the I2C devices will be +instantiated automatically by i2c-core. The devices will be automatically +unbound and destroyed when the I2C bus they sit on goes away (if ever). + + +Declare the I2C devices via devicetree +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +On platforms using devicetree, the declaration of I2C devices is done in +subnodes of the master controller. + +Example: + +.. code-block:: dts + + i2c1: i2c@400a0000 { + /* ... master properties skipped ... */ + clock-frequency = <100000>; + + flash@50 { + compatible = "atmel,24c256"; + reg = <0x50>; + }; + + pca9532: gpio@60 { + compatible = "nxp,pca9532"; + gpio-controller; + #gpio-cells = <2>; + reg = <0x60>; + }; + }; + +Here, two devices are attached to the bus using a speed of 100kHz. For +additional properties which might be needed to set up the device, please refer +to its devicetree documentation in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/. + + +Declare the I2C devices via ACPI +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +ACPI can also describe I2C devices. There is special documentation for this +which is currently located at Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/enumeration.rst. + + +Declare the I2C devices in board files +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +In many embedded architectures, devicetree has replaced the old hardware +description based on board files, but the latter are still used in old +code. Instantiating I2C devices via board files is done with an array of +struct i2c_board_info which is registered by calling +i2c_register_board_info(). + +Example (from omap2 h4): + +.. code-block:: c + + static struct i2c_board_info h4_i2c_board_info[] __initdata = { + { + I2C_BOARD_INFO("isp1301_omap", 0x2d), + .irq = OMAP_GPIO_IRQ(125), + }, + { /* EEPROM on mainboard */ + I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x52), + .platform_data = &m24c01, + }, + { /* EEPROM on cpu card */ + I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x57), + .platform_data = &m24c01, + }, + }; + + static void __init omap_h4_init(void) + { + (...) + i2c_register_board_info(1, h4_i2c_board_info, + ARRAY_SIZE(h4_i2c_board_info)); + (...) + } + +The above code declares 3 devices on I2C bus 1, including their respective +addresses and custom data needed by their drivers. + + +Method 2: Instantiate the devices explicitly +-------------------------------------------- + +This method is appropriate when a larger device uses an I2C bus for +internal communication. A typical case is TV adapters. These can have a +tuner, a video decoder, an audio decoder, etc. usually connected to the +main chip by the means of an I2C bus. You won't know the number of the I2C +bus in advance, so the method 1 described above can't be used. Instead, +you can instantiate your I2C devices explicitly. This is done by filling +a struct i2c_board_info and calling i2c_new_client_device(). + +Example (from the sfe4001 network driver): + +.. code-block:: c + + static struct i2c_board_info sfe4001_hwmon_info = { + I2C_BOARD_INFO("max6647", 0x4e), + }; + + int sfe4001_init(struct efx_nic *efx) + { + (...) + efx->board_info.hwmon_client = + i2c_new_client_device(&efx->i2c_adap, &sfe4001_hwmon_info); + + (...) + } + +The above code instantiates 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on the +network adapter in question. + +A variant of this is when you don't know for sure if an I2C device is +present or not (for example for an optional feature which is not present +on cheap variants of a board but you have no way to tell them apart), or +it may have different addresses from one board to the next (manufacturer +changing its design without notice). In this case, you can call +i2c_new_scanned_device() instead of i2c_new_client_device(). + +Example (from the nxp OHCI driver): + +.. code-block:: c + + static const unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x2c, 0x2d, I2C_CLIENT_END }; + + static int usb_hcd_nxp_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + (...) + struct i2c_adapter *i2c_adap; + struct i2c_board_info i2c_info; + + (...) + i2c_adap = i2c_get_adapter(2); + memset(&i2c_info, 0, sizeof(struct i2c_board_info)); + strscpy(i2c_info.type, "isp1301_nxp", sizeof(i2c_info.type)); + isp1301_i2c_client = i2c_new_scanned_device(i2c_adap, &i2c_info, + normal_i2c, NULL); + i2c_put_adapter(i2c_adap); + (...) + } + +The above code instantiates up to 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on +the OHCI adapter in question. It first tries at address 0x2c, if nothing +is found there it tries address 0x2d, and if still nothing is found, it +simply gives up. + +The driver which instantiated the I2C device is responsible for destroying +it on cleanup. This is done by calling i2c_unregister_device() on the +pointer that was earlier returned by i2c_new_client_device() or +i2c_new_scanned_device(). + + +Method 3: Probe an I2C bus for certain devices +---------------------------------------------- + +Sometimes you do not have enough information about an I2C device, not even +to call i2c_new_scanned_device(). The typical case is hardware monitoring +chips on PC mainboards. There are several dozen models, which can live +at 25 different addresses. Given the huge number of mainboards out there, +it is next to impossible to build an exhaustive list of the hardware +monitoring chips being used. Fortunately, most of these chips have +manufacturer and device ID registers, so they can be identified by +probing. + +In that case, I2C devices are neither declared nor instantiated +explicitly. Instead, i2c-core will probe for such devices as soon as their +drivers are loaded, and if any is found, an I2C device will be +instantiated automatically. In order to prevent any misbehavior of this +mechanism, the following restrictions apply: + +* The I2C device driver must implement the detect() method, which + identifies a supported device by reading from arbitrary registers. +* Only buses which are likely to have a supported device and agree to be + probed, will be probed. For example this avoids probing for hardware + monitoring chips on a TV adapter. + +Example: +See lm90_driver and lm90_detect() in drivers/hwmon/lm90.c + +I2C devices instantiated as a result of such a successful probe will be +destroyed automatically when the driver which detected them is removed, +or when the underlying I2C bus is itself destroyed, whichever happens +first. + +Those of you familiar with the I2C subsystem of 2.4 kernels and early 2.6 +kernels will find out that this method 3 is essentially similar to what +was done there. Two significant differences are: + +* Probing is only one way to instantiate I2C devices now, while it was the + only way back then. Where possible, methods 1 and 2 should be preferred. + Method 3 should only be used when there is no other way, as it can have + undesirable side effects. +* I2C buses must now explicitly say which I2C driver classes can probe + them (by the means of the class bitfield), while all I2C buses were + probed by default back then. The default is an empty class which means + that no probing happens. The purpose of the class bitfield is to limit + the aforementioned undesirable side effects. + +Once again, method 3 should be avoided wherever possible. Explicit device +instantiation (methods 1 and 2) is much preferred for it is safer and +faster. + + +Method 4: Instantiate from user-space +------------------------------------- + +In general, the kernel should know which I2C devices are connected and +what addresses they live at. However, in certain cases, it does not, so a +sysfs interface was added to let the user provide the information. This +interface is made of 2 attribute files which are created in every I2C bus +directory: ``new_device`` and ``delete_device``. Both files are write +only and you must write the right parameters to them in order to properly +instantiate, respectively delete, an I2C device. + +File ``new_device`` takes 2 parameters: the name of the I2C device (a +string) and the address of the I2C device (a number, typically expressed +in hexadecimal starting with 0x, but can also be expressed in decimal.) + +File ``delete_device`` takes a single parameter: the address of the I2C +device. As no two devices can live at the same address on a given I2C +segment, the address is sufficient to uniquely identify the device to be +deleted. + +Example:: + + # echo eeprom 0x50 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device + +While this interface should only be used when in-kernel device declaration +can't be done, there is a variety of cases where it can be helpful: + +* The I2C driver usually detects devices (method 3 above) but the bus + segment your device lives on doesn't have the proper class bit set and + thus detection doesn't trigger. +* The I2C driver usually detects devices, but your device lives at an + unexpected address. +* The I2C driver usually detects devices, but your device is not detected, + either because the detection routine is too strict, or because your + device is not officially supported yet but you know it is compatible. +* You are developing a driver on a test board, where you soldered the I2C + device yourself. + +This interface is a replacement for the force_* module parameters some I2C +drivers implement. Being implemented in i2c-core rather than in each +device driver individually, it is much more efficient, and also has the +advantage that you do not have to reload the driver to change a setting. +You can also instantiate the device before the driver is loaded or even +available, and you don't need to know what driver the device needs. diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/muxes/i2c-mux-gpio.rst b/Documentation/i2c/muxes/i2c-mux-gpio.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7d2744403 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/i2c/muxes/i2c-mux-gpio.rst @@ -0,0 +1,85 @@ +========================== +Kernel driver i2c-mux-gpio +========================== + +Author: Peter Korsgaard + +Description +----------- + +i2c-mux-gpio is an i2c mux driver providing access to I2C bus segments +from a master I2C bus and a hardware MUX controlled through GPIO pins. + +E.G.:: + + ---------- ---------- Bus segment 1 - - - - - + | | SCL/SDA | |-------------- | | + | |------------| | + | | | | Bus segment 2 | | + | Linux | GPIO 1..N | MUX |--------------- Devices + | |------------| | | | + | | | | Bus segment M + | | | |---------------| | + ---------- ---------- - - - - - + +SCL/SDA of the master I2C bus is multiplexed to bus segment 1..M +according to the settings of the GPIO pins 1..N. + +Usage +----- + +i2c-mux-gpio uses the platform bus, so you need to provide a struct +platform_device with the platform_data pointing to a struct +i2c_mux_gpio_platform_data with the I2C adapter number of the master +bus, the number of bus segments to create and the GPIO pins used +to control it.

After that, some implementation hints for extending bus +drivers and writing backends will be given. + + +I2C slave events +---------------- + +The bus driver sends an event to the backend using the following function:: + + ret = i2c_slave_event(client, event, &val) + +'client' describes the I2C slave device. 'event' is one of the special event +types described hereafter. 'val' holds an u8 value for the data byte to be +read/written and is thus bidirectional. The pointer to val must always be +provided even if val is not used for an event, i.e. don't use NULL here. 'ret' +is the return value from the backend. Mandatory events must be provided by the +bus drivers and must be checked for by backend drivers. + +Event types: + +* I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_REQUESTED (mandatory) + + 'val': unused + + 'ret': 0 if the backend is ready, otherwise some errno + +Another I2C master wants to write data to us. This event should be sent once +our own address and the write bit was detected. The data did not arrive yet, so +there is nothing to process or return. After returning, the bus driver must +always ack the address phase. If 'ret' is zero, backend initialization or +wakeup is done and further data may be received. If 'ret' is an errno, the bus +driver should nack all incoming bytes until the next stop condition to enforce +a retry of the transmission. + +* I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUESTED (mandatory) + + 'val': backend returns first byte to be sent + + 'ret': always 0 + +Another I2C master wants to read data from us. This event should be sent once +our own address and the read bit was detected. After returning, the bus driver +should transmit the first byte. + +* I2C_SLAVE_WRITE_RECEIVED (mandatory) + + 'val': bus driver delivers received byte + + 'ret': 0 if the byte should be acked, some errno if the byte should be nacked + +Another I2C master has sent a byte to us which needs to be set in 'val'. If 'ret' +is zero, the bus driver should ack this byte. If 'ret' is an errno, then the byte +should be nacked. + +* I2C_SLAVE_READ_PROCESSED (mandatory) + + 'val': backend returns next byte to be sent + + 'ret': always 0 + +The bus driver requests the next byte to be sent to another I2C master in +'val'. Important: This does not mean that the previous byte has been acked, it +only means that the previous byte is shifted out to the bus! To ensure seamless +transmission, most hardware requests the next byte when the previous one is +still shifted out. If the master sends NACK and stops reading after the byte +currently shifted out, this byte requested here is never used. It very likely +needs to be sent again on the next I2C_SLAVE_READ_REQUEST, depending a bit on +your backend, though. + +* I2C_SLAVE_STOP (mandatory) + + 'val': unused + + 'ret': always 0 + +A stop condition was received. This can happen anytime and the backend should +reset its state machine for I2C transfers to be able to receive new requests. + + +Software backends +----------------- + +If you want to write a software backend: + +* use a standard i2c_driver and its matching mechanisms +* write the slave_callback which handles the above slave events + (best using a state machine) +* register this callback via i2c_slave_register() + +Check the i2c-slave-eeprom driver as an example. + + +Bus driver support +------------------ + +If you want to add slave support to the bus driver: + +* implement calls to register/unregister the slave and add those to the + struct i2c_algorithm. When registering, you probably need to set the I2C + slave address and enable slave specific interrupts. If you use runtime pm, you + should use pm_runtime_get_sync() because your device usually needs to be + powered on always to be able to detect its slave address. When unregistering, + do the inverse of the above. + +* Catch the slave interrupts and send appropriate i2c_slave_events to the backend. + +Note that most hardware supports being master _and_ slave on the same bus. So, +if you extend a bus driver, please make sure that the driver supports that as +well. In almost all cases, slave support does not need to disable the master +functionality. + +Check the i2c-rcar driver as an example. + + +About ACK/NACK +-------------- + +It is good behaviour to always ACK the address phase, so the master knows if a +device is basically present or if it mysteriously disappeared. Using NACK to +state being busy is troublesome. SMBus demands to always ACK the address phase, +while the I2C specification is more loose on that. Most I2C controllers also +automatically ACK when detecting their slave addresses, so there is no option +to NACK them. For those reasons, this API does not support NACK in the address +phase. + +Currently, there is no slave event to report if the master did ACK or NACK a +byte when it reads from us.

Such an extension might be possible, usefulness is unclear at +this time of writing. Some points to keep in mind when using buffers: + +* Buffers should be opt-in and backend drivers will always have to support + byte-based transactions as the ultimate fallback anyhow because this is how + the majority of HW works. + +* For backends simulating hardware registers, buffers are largely not helpful + because after each byte written an action should be immediately triggered. + For reads, the data kept in the buffer might get stale if the backend just + updated a register because of internal processing. + +* A master can send STOP at any time. For partially transferred buffers, this + means additional code to handle this exception. Such code tends to be + error-prone. diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/slave-testunit-backend.rst b/Documentation/i2c/slave-testunit-backend.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ecfc2abec --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/i2c/slave-testunit-backend.rst @@ -0,0 +1,88 @@ +..

If the driver name doesn't match the module +name, the module won't be automatically loaded (hotplug/coldplug). + +All other fields are for call-back functions which will be explained +below. + + +Extra client data +================= + +Each client structure has a special ``data`` field that can point to any +structure at all. You should use this to keep device-specific data. + +:: + + /* store the value */ + void i2c_set_clientdata(struct i2c_client *client, void *data); + + /* retrieve the value */ + void *i2c_get_clientdata(const struct i2c_client *client); + +Note that starting with kernel 2.6.34, you don't have to set the ``data`` field +to NULL in remove() or if probe() failed anymore.

At some time, we will need +to gather information from the client, or write new information to the +client. + +I have found it useful to define foo_read and foo_write functions for this. +For some cases, it will be easier to call the I2C functions directly, +but many chips have some kind of register-value idea that can easily +be encapsulated. + +The below functions are simple examples, and should not be copied +literally:: + + int foo_read_value(struct i2c_client *client, u8 reg) + { + if (reg < 0x10) /* byte-sized register */ + return i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(client, reg); + else /* word-sized register */ + return i2c_smbus_read_word_data(client, reg); + } + + int foo_write_value(struct i2c_client *client, u8 reg, u16 value) + { + if (reg == 0x10) /* Impossible to write - driver error! */ + return -EINVAL; + else if (reg < 0x10) /* byte-sized register */ + return i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(client, reg, value); + else /* word-sized register */ + return i2c_smbus_write_word_data(client, reg, value); + } + + +Probing and attaching +===================== + +The Linux I2C stack was originally written to support access to hardware +monitoring chips on PC motherboards, and thus used to embed some assumptions +that were more appropriate to SMBus (and PCs) than to I2C. One of these +assumptions was that most adapters and devices drivers support the SMBUS_QUICK +protocol to probe device presence. Another was that devices and their drivers +can be sufficiently configured using only such probe primitives. + +As Linux and its I2C stack became more widely used in embedded systems +and complex components such as DVB adapters, those assumptions became more +problematic. Drivers for I2C devices that issue interrupts need more (and +different) configuration information, as do drivers handling chip variants +that can't be distinguished by protocol probing, or which need some board +specific information to operate correctly. + + +Device/Driver Binding +--------------------- + +System infrastructure, typically board-specific initialization code or +boot firmware, reports what I2C devices exist. For example, there may be +a table, in the kernel or from the boot loader, identifying I2C devices +and linking them to board-specific configuration information about IRQs +and other wiring artifacts, chip type, and so on. That could be used to +create i2c_client objects for each I2C device. + +I2C device drivers using this binding model work just like any other +kind of driver in Linux: they provide a probe() method to bind to +those devices, and a remove() method to unbind. + +:: + + static int foo_probe(struct i2c_client *client); + static void foo_remove(struct i2c_client *client); + +Remember that the i2c_driver does not create those client handles. The +handle may be used during foo_probe(). If foo_probe() reports success +(zero not a negative status code) it may save the handle and use it until +foo_remove() returns. That binding model is used by most Linux drivers. + +The probe function is called when an entry in the id_table name field +matches the device's name. If the probe function needs that entry, it +can retrieve it using + +:: + + const struct i2c_device_id *id = i2c_match_id(foo_idtable, client); + + +Device Creation +--------------- + +If you know for a fact that an I2C device is connected to a given I2C bus, +you can instantiate that device by simply filling an i2c_board_info +structure with the device address and driver name, and calling +i2c_new_client_device(). This will create the device, then the driver core +will take care of finding the right driver and will call its probe() method. +If a driver supports different device types, you can specify the type you +want using the type field. You can also specify an IRQ and platform data +if needed. + +Sometimes you know that a device is connected to a given I2C bus, but you +don't know the exact address it uses. This happens on TV adapters for +example, where the same driver supports dozens of slightly different +models, and I2C device addresses change from one model to the next. In +that case, you can use the i2c_new_scanned_device() variant, which is +similar to i2c_new_client_device(), except that it takes an additional list +of possible I2C addresses to probe. A device is created for the first +responsive address in the list. If you expect more than one device to be +present in the address range, simply call i2c_new_scanned_device() that +many times. + +The call to i2c_new_client_device() or i2c_new_scanned_device() typically +happens in the I2C bus driver. You may want to save the returned i2c_client +reference for later use. + + +Device Detection +---------------- + +Sometimes you do not know in advance which I2C devices are connected to +a given I2C bus. This is for example the case of hardware monitoring +devices on a PC's SMBus. In that case, you may want to let your driver +detect supported devices automatically. This is how the legacy model +was working, and is now available as an extension to the standard +driver model. + +You simply have to define a detect callback which will attempt to +identify supported devices (returning 0 for supported ones and -ENODEV +for unsupported ones), a list of addresses to probe, and a device type +(or class) so that only I2C buses which may have that type of device +connected (and not otherwise enumerated) will be probed. For example, +a driver for a hardware monitoring chip for which auto-detection is +needed would set its class to I2C_CLASS_HWMON, and only I2C adapters +with a class including I2C_CLASS_HWMON would be probed by this driver. +Note that the absence of matching classes does not prevent the use of +a device of that type on the given I2C adapter. All it prevents is +auto-detection; explicit instantiation of devices is still possible. + +Note that this mechanism is purely optional and not suitable for all +devices. You need some reliable way to identify the supported devices +(typically using device-specific, dedicated identification registers), +otherwise misdetections are likely to occur and things can get wrong +quickly. Keep in mind that the I2C protocol doesn't include any +standard way to detect the presence of a chip at a given address, let +alone a standard way to identify devices. Even worse is the lack of +semantics associated to bus transfers, which means that the same +transfer can be seen as a read operation by a chip and as a write +operation by another chip. For these reasons, explicit device +instantiation should always be preferred to auto-detection where +possible. + + +Device Deletion +--------------- + +Each I2C device which has been created using i2c_new_client_device() +or i2c_new_scanned_device() can be unregistered by calling +i2c_unregister_device(). If you don't call it explicitly, it will be +called automatically before the underlying I2C bus itself is removed, +as a device can't survive its parent in the device driver model. + + +Initializing the driver +======================= + +When the kernel is booted, or when your foo driver module is inserted, +you have to do some initializing. Fortunately, just registering the +driver module is usually enough. + +:: + + static int __init foo_init(void) + { + return i2c_add_driver(&foo_driver); + } + module_init(foo_init); + + static void __exit foo_cleanup(void) + { + i2c_del_driver(&foo_driver); + } + module_exit(foo_cleanup); + + The module_i2c_driver() macro can be used to reduce above code. + + module_i2c_driver(foo_driver); + +Note that some functions are marked by ``__init``. These functions can +be removed after kernel booting (or module loading) is completed. +Likewise, functions marked by ``__exit`` are dropped by the compiler when +the code is built into the kernel, as they would never be called. + + +Driver Information +================== + +:: + + /* Substitute your own name and email address */ + MODULE_AUTHOR("Frodo Looijaard " + MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Driver for Barf Inc. Foo I2C devices"); + + /* a few non-GPL license types are also allowed */ + MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); + + +Power Management +================ + +If your I2C device needs special handling when entering a system low +power state -- like putting a transceiver into a low power mode, or +activating a system wakeup mechanism -- do that by implementing the +appropriate callbacks for the dev_pm_ops of the driver (like suspend +and resume). + +These are standard driver model calls, and they work just like they +would for any other driver stack. The calls can sleep, and can use +I2C messaging to the device being suspended or resumed (since their +parent I2C adapter is active when these calls are issued, and IRQs +are still enabled). + + +System Shutdown +=============== + +If your I2C device needs special handling when the system shuts down +or reboots (including kexec) -- like turning something off -- use a +shutdown() method. + +Again, this is a standard driver model call, working just like it +would for any other driver stack: the calls can sleep, and can use +I2C messaging. + + +Command function +================ + +A generic ioctl-like function call back is supported. You will seldom +need this, and its use is deprecated anyway, so newer design should not +use it. + + +Sending and receiving +===================== + +If you want to communicate with your device, there are several functions +to do this. You can find all of them in . + +If you can choose between plain I2C communication and SMBus level +communication, please use the latter. All adapters understand SMBus level +commands, but only some of them understand plain I2C! + + +Plain I2C communication +----------------------- + +:: + + int i2c_master_send(struct i2c_client *client, const char *buf, + int count); + int i2c_master_recv(struct i2c_client *client, char *buf, int count); + +These routines read and write some bytes from/to a client. The client +contains the I2C address, so you do not have to include it. The second +parameter contains the bytes to read/write, the third the number of bytes +to read/write (must be less than the length of the buffer, also should be +less than 64k since msg.len is u16.) Returned is the actual number of bytes +read/written. + +:: + + int i2c_transfer(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_msg *msg, + int num); + +This sends a series of messages. Each message can be a read or write, +and they can be mixed in any way. The transactions are combined: no +stop condition is issued between transaction. The i2c_msg structure +contains for each message the client address, the number of bytes of the +message and the message data itself. + +You can read the file i2c-protocol.rst for more information about the +actual I2C protocol. + + +SMBus communication +------------------- + +:: + + s32 i2c_smbus_xfer(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, u16 addr, + unsigned short flags, char read_write, u8 command, + int size, union i2c_smbus_data *data); + +This is the generic SMBus function. All functions below are implemented +in terms of it. Never use this function directly! + +:: + + s32 i2c_smbus_read_byte(struct i2c_client *client); + s32 i2c_smbus_write_byte(struct i2c_client *client, u8 value); + s32 i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(struct i2c_client *client, u8 command); + s32 i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u8 value); + s32 i2c_smbus_read_word_data(struct i2c_client *client, u8 command); + s32 i2c_smbus_write_word_data(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u16 value); + s32 i2c_smbus_read_block_data(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u8 *values); + s32 i2c_smbus_write_block_data(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u8 length, const u8 *values); + s32 i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u8 length, u8 *values); + s32 i2c_smbus_write_i2c_block_data(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u8 length, + const u8 *values); + +These ones were removed from i2c-core because they had no users, but could +be added back later if needed:: + + s32 i2c_smbus_write_quick(struct i2c_client *client, u8 value); + s32 i2c_smbus_process_call(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u16 value); + s32 i2c_smbus_block_process_call(struct i2c_client *client, + u8 command, u8 length, u8 *values); + +All these transactions return a negative errno value on failure. The 'write' +transactions return 0 on success; the 'read' transactions return the read +value, except for block transactions, which return the number of values +read. The block buffers need not be longer than 32 bytes. + +You can read the file smbus-protocol.rst for more information about the +actual SMBus protocol. + + +General purpose routines +======================== + +Below all general purpose routines are listed, that were not mentioned +before:: + + /* Return the adapter number for a specific adapter */ + int i2c_adapter_id(struct i2c_adapter *adap); -- cgit v1.2.3
